Melissa Mitchell

Melissa Mitchell made her debut in Housewives at Play #2 in 1999, a creation of Rebecca published under Fantagraphics' adult Eros imprint during comics' Modern Age. She's a recurring presence across the Housewives at Play series and its spin-off formats — including the King Sized Special and the Eros Graphic Albums line — sharing those playful, irreverent pages with a cast that includes Catherine Mitchell, Jennifer Thompson, Patty Johnson, and Beth Stevens. With seven catalog appearances across a run stretching into the mid-2000s, Melissa is a modest but genuine fixture of this charming corner of alternative adult comics, the kind of character that rewards readers who've fallen for Rebecca's warmly comedic domestic universe.
